The female boss of destiny, even villains have to work for me

The next morning, the emperor brought Zeng Yi to Tianshu Mountain with great fanfare. Everyone in the city knew that the emperor had brought his favorite concubine to visit the sick empress. Fearing that the empress could not hold on any longer, the emperor came to see her for the last time.

Word spread quickly, and soon everyone was talking about how deeply the emperor loved the queen.

Zeng Yi was pregnant with the dragon heir and had difficulty moving. The journey to Tianshu Mountain was long and the road was rugged, so she could only walk a few steps and then rest. The emperor, who had been very fond of her, also became a little impatient.

Seeing that the emperor looked unwell, she could only support herself and climb up the mountain with gritted teeth, cursing the queen over and over again in her heart.

Finally, Zeng Yi climbed up the mountain breathlessly.

Originally, she planned to take a sedan chair and leisurely go up the mountain, but the emperor suddenly said that going up Tianshu Mountain in a sedan chair was a great disrespect to heaven. Zeng Yi did not dare to refute and could only do as he was told.

Zeng Yi was supported by the palace maid and followed the emperor to the temple.

The original renovation work was forced to be interrupted due to the queen's illness. There were messy stones and wood everywhere, and the yard was overgrown with weeds. Only the two houses where Du Ran and the queen lived were decent, but they still couldn't compare with the houses in the palace. Zeng Yi looked at all this with disdain, and regretted coming to this dilapidated place.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw a bed, a table, two chairs and the dying queen lying on the bed in the empty room.

Zeng Yi felt a little uneasy and didn't dare to go over, so she stood at the door and watched, making the excuse that she was not feeling well.

However, the emperor, seeing the queen lying motionless on the bed, was suddenly overwhelmed by the love they had for each other for so many years. His eyes became slightly red, and he sat down beside the bed and held the queen's hand.

Zeng Yi was so angry that her eyes almost popped out of her head.

"Queen, you have suffered!" The emperor sighed, "The imperial physician has already told me about your situation. Since the heavens have called you, even the divine doctor cannot keep you. Considering the years of love between us, may your spirit in heaven protect me and all the people in the world!"

After all, it was all for his own dream of living a long life. Mu Zhou, who was hiding on the roof, listened to the emperor's words with a look of contempt. It opened his eyes that there could be such a shameless person in the world.

No! Mu Zhou quickly corrected his thoughts. Such shameless people include not only the emperor in front of him, but also Yu Chengfeng. These two are equally shameless!

Thinking of this, Mu Zhou became even more annoyed.

"Ah?!" A woman who was dressed simply but still could not hide her charming temperament walked in with medicine. The moment she saw the emperor, she exclaimed, but to the emperor, the exclamation was so pleasant to the ears, like a lark striking his heartstrings.

Zeng Yi's sixth sense reminded her that there was danger, and she immediately scolded him, "How dare you! How can you just come in here casually! Get out now!"

The woman was like a frightened white rabbit, with fear and helplessness on her face, as well as an indescribable charm that made the emperor feel pity and unable to take his eyes off her.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please forgive me! I only came here to deliver the medicine on time according to the imperial physician's orders. I am sorry for disturbing Your Majesty and Your Majesty. Please spare my life." As she spoke, the woman began to sob, and the movement of wiping her tears seemed to be in slow motion.

The emperor walked over and helped the woman who was kneeling on the ground up. He wiped away her tears as if possessed by a ghost. His voice was gentle and there was no hint of blame: "Don't be afraid. Go and give the queen medicine!" After that, he looked at Zeng Yi angrily and scolded: "It's just delivering medicine to the queen. Why make things difficult for her?"

Zeng Yi quickly lowered her head to admit her mistake, but her teeth were almost broken.

The emperor watched the woman gently feeding the queen medicine, and each time she pursed her lips slightly to cool the medicine down. This feeling had already reached the emperor's heart, and he began to imagine what it would be like if she fed him the medicine, which made his heart flutter and ripples.

He wished he could run over right now and hold her tightly in his arms.

The time for feeding the medicine was so long. During this time, the woman would peek at the emperor from time to time, which aroused the emperor's heart again.

Seeing that the time was ripe, the feeling of holding the lute and half covering her face was the most seductive. The woman retreated respectfully, and the moment she turned around, the glances in her eyes almost ran to the emperor.

The emperor called the guards in in front of Zeng Yi and the queen and asked, "Who was the person who fed the medicine?"

"Your Majesty, she was originally a homeless and destitute woman. When she heard that the Queen came to Tianshu Mountain to build a temple and pray for blessings, she followed here with all her heart to serve the Queen." The guard answered respectfully.

The emperor thought for a moment and nodded: "He is also a kind person. What's his name?"

The guard had no answer, so the emperor gave up. However, his intention was too obvious, and Zeng Yi's nails almost dug into her flesh through her clenched fists.

"Your Majesty, she's just a maid who feeds medicine. Why don't you go and see how the Empress is doing?" Zeng Yi resisted the urge to yell and leaned over coquettishly, trying to awaken the Emperor's reason.

Although the emperor put his arm around Zeng Yi, his mind was completely seduced by the girl who fed him medicine.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the princess is also in Tianshu Mountain. Why don't we go over there and take a look?" Zeng Yi suggested.

The emperor was stunned for a moment: "She is here too?"

"She is now the Queen's friend and is always with her!"

"Then let's go and take a look!"

As they talked, the two of them came to the door of Du Ran's room. Mu Zhou was guarding Du Ran's room as an attendant. When he saw the emperor and Zeng Yi coming, he just moved aside without saluting. Zeng Yi glared at him: "Why don't you salute the emperor when you see him?"

Mu Zhou turned a deaf ear and didn't even raise his head.

"No problem." The emperor didn't seem to care. He looked at Mu Zhou and asked, "Why is the princess also lying on the bed?"

"Your Majesty, the Queen has been poisoned." Mu Zhou said concisely.

"Poisoned? When did it happen?" The emperor seemed a little shocked.

"He was poisoned together with the Queen."

"The Queen was poisoned?" The Emperor couldn't believe it. After all, he had been hearing from his subordinates for so many days that the Queen was sick. Poisoning was caused by someone else. Who was so bold as to poison the Queen and the Princess?

Zeng Yi's face looked strange, and she unconsciously tightened her grip on the emperor's hand. Her heart was pounding with nervousness. It took her a long time to put on her usual delicate voice, pretending to be shocked and saying, "Poisoned? This is a big deal, and we can't just talk about it!"

Mu Zhou was too lazy to look at her. He just looked at Du Ran on the bed and said, "Do I need to say anything nonsense? If it's not poisoned, it's just a coincidence that the queen and my queen are sick, right? If the emperor doesn't believe it, the plate of poisoned cakes is still there!"

Zeng Yi's pupils dilated, she didn't expect that they could find problems with the pastries. Now, it seemed that everything was developing in a direction she could not expect.
